To begin with, broken chains it is shown that Alfonso has many in securitys those who are that “Alfonso sat on the porch trying push his crooked teeth to where he thought they belonged” as it states in the introductory paragraph 1. Alfonso also wanted to get ripples as it states in the beginning paragraph 1. Alfonso states that he wanted braces but his mother had said that they do not have the money for the braces. Alfonso was forced to tell sandra that he had broke his bike trying to clean it and did not want to but came to the conclusion that he had to “now he had to face Sandra and say, “i broke my bike, and my stingy brother took off with his bike” paragraph 44.

There is evidence that he likes the girl because it states that paragraph 2 when it states that “victor had liked the girl in catechism classes”. Victor had made contacts with tereza in paragraph 16 when it states that tereza had said “hi victor” and Victor had said “that’s my name”, and had second thoughts about saying what he said to her. Victor is also shy and lacks confidence because if he was not shy he would have asked tereza out already if he had confidence. The translate, in the poem “Oranges” it relates that the poem that the woman and the man who remain to not have a name state that they have a connection with each other and share no words with each other as it states in stanza 45 in the story. The man in the story started off a little shy but after a while he copes with his issue and finally overcomes it and holds the girls hand for 2 blocks as it continues in stanza 51. This shows evidence that he has gained confidence by being silent and then touching her shoulders in stanza 15 and then shortly after he stated that he saw “light in her eyes” in stanza 25 line 4. Also he finally gained his confidence in stanza 45 as it states that “i took my girl’s hand in mine for two
In chapter one of Lord of the Flies, a plane crash landed into a deserted island, and the boys emerged from the plane to investigate. They experienced newfound emotions, “…they savoured the right of domination.” , without grownups present, they obtained power that appears uncontrollable. (p.29). They owned the island, making it a paradise, “standing like a fort… bold, pink, bastion.”
What went wrong in the Lord of the Flies? Some may say Jack and some may say Roger, but what are the real reasons for the downfall of the boys? They are, the loss of hope, the loss of order, and the passing of time.
As Michael James explains“They beat the shit out of you..They’re yelling ‘Stop resisting!’ Stop resisting!’ when you’re not even moving.”...I couldn't stand it no more...I’ve knocked myself out by running full force into the wall” (Tapley 216). He expresses hhow he wasnet doing anything and yet the guard would slam his head to wall,punh, poke and all while he was handcuffed. He mentions how he understand punihment is suppose to be placed when an inmate is out of line but, he makes it clear that he doesnt have to do anything to get beaten by the guards. Michael story is the same as many other inmates. James had harsh childhood and now his prison days increase the chances for him to get mentally ill when he entered solitary confinement for
“The boy with fair hair lowered himself down the last few feet of rock and began to pick his way towards the lagoon.” (pg. 7)
The Influence of the Beast on the Loss of Civilization in Lord of the Flies
Leadership is an uncommon trait that stands out in those who possess it. People are like a herd of sheep, they need a shepherd. This shepherd figure more often than not tends to be the strongest person. However, the suspected strongest person doesn’t always make the best leader. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies Ralph demonstrates to be a better leader than Jack, despite being physically weaker. Jack is physically stronger, while Ralph has a sturdier head on his shoulders. Ralph knows what is the best for their group of boys. He is also more well liked by the other boys opposed to Jack.
In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Ralph sees himself as civilized, responsible, and a leader. Ralph sees himself as civilized because while on the island he tries to create order and rule. Ralph speaks to all of the boys, "If we have a signal going they'll come and take us off. And another thing. We ought to have more rules. Where the conch is, that's a meeting. The same here as down there" (Golding 420). Ralph tells the boys that there will be rules and that they need to follow them. Ralph's civilization kicks in at this moment by commanding rules and order. Ralph also views himself as responsible. Throughout his time on the island Ralph tries his best to make good decisions, not only for himself, but for all the boys. Even when has
In the first chapter of Lord of the Flies, Ralph calls together all of the boys using the conch for the first time. Their first rule of action is to elect a leader because “we ought to have a chief to decide things” (Golding 22). Ralph comes to this conclusion after the boys fail to talk one person at a time, effectively not getting anything accomplished by doing so. This event eludes to the statement that social order is needed for man to be productive. The same can be said for when Ralph argues with Jack because he and his hunters aren’t doing anything productive while Ralph and Simon try to build huts for the group. Ralph tries to bring the group together so they can do the things that ultimately aid their survival. Another major effort
Before the events of Simon’s talk with the lord of the flies, Jack and Ralph had gone separate ways from each other. Jack had left frustrated after Ralph was still accepted as chief of the boys. Jack with his followers found and killed a swine in the forest. They speared the head of the pig and left it as an offering for the beast that the hunters worshiped. Golding had special plans for the head of the pig and Simon. In this passage from Lord of the Flies, Golding shows that savagery will overtake civilization when fear and anger is spreading among the people of civilization.
The change in the boys’ physical appearances from neatly dressed school boys to old torn clothing, messy dirty haired savages follows the change in the boys' behavior as their time on the island increase. As their appearance degrades, so does their behavior. At the beginning of chapter 5, Ralph tells us, "...discovered dirt and decay, understood how much he disliked perpetually flicking the tangled hair out of his eyes,...". At the beginning of chapter 7, Ralph describes to us, “I would like to have a pair of scissors and cut my hair, I would like to have a bath and a toothbrush would come in handy too." Ralph passionately talks about his constant degradation in appearance and cleanliness.
Fear has influenced the boys’ reaction/interpretation of the Beast immensely in this chapter. In the beginning of they story all of them were having fun with no adults and no freedom, but now the Beast has caused all of them to change. Most of them have become more fearful and some have even claimed to see the Beast. Although the Beast might exist, the fears in Sam and Eric’s heads have made them imagine the creature is scarier than it actually is. Fear can bring out the worst and best of people, and I am very anxious to see how it will affect the boys later on in the story. Additionally, the Beast seems to have made Jack appear even more obsessed about hunting, while it expresses Simon’s intelligence even more. For example, when he pictured

In Chapter 4 of William Golding's Lord of the Flies, fire may be the boys' best escape route and only hope for survival, but, for the time being, Jack and his hunters must do what is necessary to provide food to allow possible survival. Introduced in chapter two, the element of fire becomes prominent, and, although unaware at the time, the boys would later realize that fire may be their last glowing bit of light on an island shrouded with smoke. Ralph insisted that the boys keep the fire running at all hours of the day, hoping that a rescue boat or helicopter might appear to set the boys free and save them from this hellish nightmare of a life. "There's another thing. We can help them to find us.
Lord of the Flies Passage Commentary The passage beginning with “Piggy handed Ralph his glasses…”, which is written in the novel Lord of the Flies, portrays the progression of the novel’s story line. At first, the children are struggling to start a fire; they become desperate to light a fire for warmth and safety. However, eventually by some miraculous way, the wood lights on fire, causing a relieved tone in the children. Golding incorporates sensory image and repetition of an action to show how the children are struggling.
Thesis statement: Though people live in a civilized society, they possess the capacity for violence. Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, discusses this theme with two main characters who metamorph from civil human beings to heathens, and who distance themselves from the order of society.
